Chapter 160: Zerg Bonsai

After Zhan Xiaogui and the others visited all kinds of equipment in the Zerg Mother's Nest, they began to look for the Zerg Mother's Nest.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses.

Zhan Xiaogui felt that only by finding the corpse of the Zerg Motherhive could he determine the true death of the Zerg Motherhive, otherwise in terms of the strong survivability of the Zerg Motherhive, there must be a possibility of survival.

"This Zerg brood won't be blown to pieces by the King's Smasher rocket launchers, will it? I've looked for several rooms, but I haven't seen a single hair of the Zerg brood! Zhan's daughter-in-law said.

"Maybe we're in the wrong place? The Zerg Nest is not a fool, and people will definitely not hide in their lair if they are injured! Isn't hiding in the lair a clear sign of the location of the injured Zerg? Zhan Xiaogui's son analyzed and proposed.

"My son is so smart! So where do you guess the Zerg brood is most likely to go? Zhan Xiaogui asked his son again.

Zhan Xiaogui's son scratched his head and grinned: "This, this is really hard to guess!" Anyway, we don't have anything to do now, so I just want to take a good look at this luxurious room of the Zerg Hive, and suddenly I find that there are a lot of things here that I haven't seen at all! I don't think it's to say that I'm less knowledgeable, but that these things of the Zerg Hive are indeed a bit ahead of their time and civilization. ”

Zhan Xiaogui cautiously pushed open another door to the Zerg mother's nest.

Approaching this door, it feels like walking into a Chinese pavilion with a strong regional cultural atmosphere.

Inside is antique Chinese-style furniture.

Zhan Xiaogui doesn't know anything else, but he is very familiar with all kinds of bonsai.

"Look! This kind of bonsai belonged to the sky-high boxwood before the end of the world! Special precious ......," Zhan Xiaogui said excitedly, pointing to a bonsai on a fragrant wood-colored Eight Immortals table.

"What? Boxwood? Is this tree expensive? It's nothing special to look at! How expensive is it? Zhan Xiaogui's son and his daughter-in-law asked suspiciously.

"Boxwood is a very beautiful tree species, it is mostly wild in the ridge stone crevices and other places in the mountainous areas of our country, very resistant to salinity and barrenness, the most valuable of which is its branches, natural curl, vigorous and simple, plus its leaves are small and leathery and shiny, making bonsai can be described as beautiful, elegant and endless.

The production of excellent works, even is sky-high, many friends are very fond of boxwood bonsai. Zhan Xiaogui pointed to the bonsai on the table of the Eight Immortals and explained.

"Then we must transport this bonsai when we carry the things here! When the end of the world is over, you can make money by selling it again? Zhan Xiaogui's son said.

"How is this bonsai made? Or is it natural to not have to make it? Zhan Xiaogui's son asked again.

Zhan Xiaogui's daughter-in-law Lili knew that Zhan Xiaogui had learned to do bonsai before, and when she saw her son asking about how bonsai was made, she gave her curious son a look and asked him to ask Zhan Xiaogui.

"Alright! Since you asked, then I will briefly talk about the production method of boxwood bonsai. ”

"Propagation boxwood can be seeded, can also be cuttings, but these two methods are too slow, and the materials obtained are often poor in shape, lack of natural beauty, because boxwood resources are extensive, plus most of the wild are quaint and peculiar, and can be formed quickly, so the production of boxwood bonsai is mainly based on digging old piles."

"The time period of mining is mostly before spring germination, the nutrients are not consumed, the temperature is more reasonable, and the boxwood germination force is relatively strong at this time, so it is best to dig at this time, and the survival rate can even be as high as 100%.

When digging, pay attention to bringing more larger and thicker roots, as well as more branches, so as to facilitate the replacement of branches and stems with roots, and more possibilities for modeling. ”

"After the old pile is excavated, it is more appropriate to plant and maintain it for a period of time, and then it is more appropriate to shape it properly. At this time, we try to use purple sand pots, which are more simple and breathable, and are most suitable for boxwood bonsai. It is best to use loose and breathable sandy soil in the pot, and you can choose humus mixed with garden soil and an appropriate amount of river sand when compiling, so that the loose and breathable drainage is stronger, and it is most suitable for the growth of boxwood. When cultivating, if the root system is simple and thick, you can bury the roots shallowly, so that the root system is properly exposed, replacing the pale and weak branches and stems. After planting, pay attention to proper watering and proper shading to facilitate survival. ”

"The boxwood can be adapted to the original shape, which is natural and makes it less difficult to make.

If the branches and stems are thicker, you can prune them as the main method, make natural type, straight dry type, if the branches and stems are thinner, you can properly tie them into a waterfront type or cliff type and so on. Generally, boxwood branches and stems are more flexible and easy to prick, but they should be careful and thoughtful when making, and should not be blindly pruned, so as not to regret it later. Groping slowly, the effect will generally be good.

After the branches are rooted, the next important step is to lift the roots, creating the effect of lifting the roots and revealing the claws, which is more beautiful. Root lifting method, first of all, you can cultivate the root system properly exposed, survival is to hang the root to expose and grasp, you can also plant, the surface of the soil is buried with thick river sand, after survival, gradually remove the river sand, the roots will naturally be slowly exposed, at this time the operation must not be too hasty, do not go to the soil too much. The best way is to combine the annual repotting and rooting, when changing the pot, it is necessary to properly lift the root once, after a long time, the effect will come out, generally change the pot two or three times, and the beauty will come out. ”

Zhan Xiaogui's son and his daughter-in-law listened to Zhan Xiaogui's theory about boxwood potted plants, and they were confused, but the two of them still applauded him again and again to express encouragement for Zhan Xiaogui's serious explanation.

"Dad, one day when you have time, you will give us a demonstration in person, make a bonsai by yourself, let me feel the fun of making bonsai by myself, and now I don't have much impression of saying it like this! Haha, it seems that my dad was still an out-and-out student when he was young! Know so much! That's amazing! Zhan Xiaogui's son said.

Zhan Xiaogui's daughter-in-law Lili couldn't help but smile when she saw her son praising Zhan Xiaogui seriously: "Where did you see that your father is a scholar?" Tell me about it? ”

Zhan Xiaogui's son looked at Lili very suspiciously: "Let's talk about bonsai production......

This time, even Zhan Xiaogui laughed, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, shook his head, sighed, patted his son's forehead and said honestly: "Dad was a scumbag back then!" Once upon a time, I couldn't even rely on the Chinese language, but you can imagine other subjects! ”

"Huh?! Failed the language test? So bad! Suddenly, I felt 10,000 alpacas running in front of me! Zhan Xiaogui's son was speechless.
